My Three Legged Pug

This is Chug the Pug, my three legged pug who is now a 3 legged pug with a broken front leg. We have nicknamed him the penguin. He twisted out of two peoples' arms at the vet and broke his other front leg. He broke his other front leg the day I brought my baby Harper home from the hospital. He fell out of bed. We had to amputate it because it was broken too badly. Now, my worst nightmare, his other front leg was compromised. Well, as you can see, he is doing well.

I wrote a story about Chug, enjoy!

Chug the Pug – The Children’s Book

In the deep, dark woods of Florida there was a home for dogs without homes.

The home was owned by Peggy who loved all animals. Peggy’s home was starting to crumble because she had too many dogs without homes. The dogs needed food and Peggy had no money to spend to repair her roof

To repair her floors

And when it rained in the woods, Peggy felt the rain inside.

Peggy advertised the lost dogs on the internet. One of her favorite lost dogs was a pug named Chug the Pug.

Chug was sad because he didn’t have an owner to love. He loved Peggy but he knew that she wasn’t his owner for life.

Chug dreamed of having a forever home.

Chug remembered when he had a family of his own. He had a mom, a dad and a baby.

But Chug’s first family forgot all about him when the baby was born.

Chug waited for them in the back yard to come back from the hospital but they never came.

Finally, Chug left the backyard and went to look for help. He was so sad, his hair fell out and his beard turned from black to gray.

He was too young to have gray hair. He was only one year old and all alone.

That is when Peggy found Chug wandering the streets and took him to her home in the woods.

Chug waited and waited for his forever family to find him.

Finally, one rainy day in February, a car pulled into the driveway. Out of the car came a man and a woman

And a pug named Bruce.

They were looking for a brother for Bruce.

Chug waited inside with the other dogs. They all waited in their cages, wondering who the family had come to see.

Peggy walked from cage to cage.

Finally, she came to Chug’s cage. He looked at her, wondering if today was his day.

Yippee! She opened up his cage. Chug tore around the house in circles. He saw his new mom, Leslie and his new dad Austin. Then, he met his brother Bruce.

Chug could not stop wiggling his tail.

Chug went to his forever home. He had a huge yard to play in and plenty of food for everyone.

Chug gained lots of weight and his hair grew back.

He even got to sleep in bed with mommy and daddy every night.

Then one day, his mommy and daddy told him he they were having a baby.

Chug was excited because he loved babies but worried that just like last time, his family would forget him once the baby came.

His mommy’s tummy grew bigger and bigger and then one day, she went to the hospital.

Chug waited with his brother Bruce for his mommy and daddy to come home.

Finally, the door opened and in walked mommy, daddy and new baby.

Chug was so excited. He wiggled and wiggled.

Then, he went to bed with mommy and daddy. The baby was in the bassinet next to the bed.

In the middle of the night, Chug heard the baby crying.

He got up to see if he could lick the baby to make the baby happy and stop the baby from crying.

All of the sudden, Chug slipped off the bed and landed on his shoulder.

He cried out YELP! He was in pain and his leg was not working.

Daddy and Mommy ran to help him. Daddy said his leg was broken.

Mommy started crying.

Daddy rushed him to the Emergency Vet.

Then they rushed him to the bone vet who specialized in broken bones.

They told them the sad news. Chug would have to make it with three legs. His broken leg had to come off.

Mommy and Daddy were so sad. They cried and cried.

Chug did not know why they were crying.

Chug went in for his operation. He came out with three legs.

After two days in the hospital Chug got to come home. Everyone was waiting for him. Mommy, Daddy and Bruce.

Bruce licked him and told him how much he missed him.

Chug couldn’t believe all the fuss. He was able to do everything he used to do with three legs.

He could still hop around, play and cuddle.

Everyone kept telling him he was no longer Chug the Pug, he was Chug the WONDER Pug.
